The Pipedown Collective

Roots to soul. are looking for musicians for an upcoming event at Rhythm store on October 24th.
We are limiting the number of tickets to provide a more intimate setting and audience experience.

And we are on the lookout for musicians who could compliment and add their own unique contribution to the night.

Ideally someone in the realm of gentle acoustic sounds that would fit the space. But we are flexible and open to submissions which may fit with the vibe of the evening.
Please contact via the Roots to Soul page

The collective is taking a mini break from showcasing our work over a very busy summer, to get on with the work behind the scenes, getting creating for what is to come. Keep an eye on us! However Vita Nova definitely is not, Heath has been going down a storm 😉 and definitely don't forget to come and see Vita Nova's sillier side, with their very special christmas panto, "The wizard of Boz"

Join us for the annual Vita Nova Panto, which this year sees Dorothy, Toto and all their friends journey down the yellow brick road to see the Wizard of Boz (or maybe that's Boscombe). This light hearted journey and quirky recovery panto, sees Dorothy and her chums searching for what they think they lack (intelligence, courage and a heart). What they discover in Boz, is a surprise to not only themselves but also the audience.

THIS THURSDAY! Come and check out Vita Nova 's adaptation of king lear. Fridays performance at Pavilion dance went down an absolute storm! Get your tickets now.

Sharon Coyne's *Heath* offers a fiercely topical and tender re-reading of Shakespeare's *King Lear*, bitterly funny and painfully gripping. This Lear for our times is one of the most artistically ambitious and artistically successful shows I have ever seen staged by what is at heart a drama-therapy troupe. Polished as well as raw, it does as much healing work for its audiences as it does for the remarkably talented group of recovering addicts who are its cast. It should be developed further and seen more widely. Professor Michael Dobson, Director of the Shakespeare Institute.

Inspired by King Lear, this is a story of despair, loss and jealousy, reimagined through the eyes of those who have journeyed through the depths and are rising again.

8th November - Pavilion Dance South West Bournemouth
14th November - Lighthouse Poole Poole
27th November - Bridport Arts Centre Bridport
